Overview of Physical Models and Statistical Approaches for Weak Gaseous Plume Detection using Passive Infrared Hyperspectral Imagery

open access: yesSensors, 2006
The performance of weak gaseous plume-detection methods in hyperspectral long-wave infrared imagery depends on scene-specific conditions such at the ability to properly estimate atmospheric transmission, the accuracy of estimated chemical signatures, and

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

On interval clutters

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics, 2002
A hypergraph is called interval hypergraph, if its vertices can be linearly order that every edge is a consecutive set of vertices. Some thirty years back Tucker gave a characterization of interval hypergraphs in terms of excluded subhypergraphs. This paper characterizes interval clutter hypergraphs in terms of excluded minors and excluded subclutters (

Salient Objects in Clutter

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2023
This paper identifies and addresses a serious design bias of existing salient object detection (SOD) datasets, which unrealistically assume that each image should contain at least one clear and uncluttered salient object. This design bias has led to a saturation in performance for state-of-the-art SOD models when evaluated on existing datasets. However,

Track initialisation for multiple formations based on neutrosophic Hough transform

open access: yesIET Radar, Sonar & Navigation
Track crossing is a major issue in the initialisation of multiple‐flight trajectories. To solve this problem, the authors propose a track initialisation algorithm.

Task‐Oriented Path Planning Towards Autonomous Sensor Network Deployment in Rainforest Canopies

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
An informative path planner for drone‐based deployment of wireless sensor networks in rainforest canopies is presented, addressing key challenges in large‐scale biodiversity monitoring. By integrating canopy surface detection with connectivity‐aware sampling under strict flight constraints, the approach enables efficient and reliable aerial sensor ...

DRIVE‐SAFE: Data‐Driven Robustness and Informed Validation for Evolving Specifications via Formal Evaluation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
DRIVE‐SAFE evaluates learning‐based, black‐box autonomous driving policies against evolving temporal safety requirements using Signal Temporal Logic robustness metrics. It aggregates distributional robustness measures with domain‐informed weights to guide iterative retraining.

Information-Theoretic Characterization and Undersampling Ratio Determination for Compressive Radar Imaging in a Simulated Environment

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
Assuming sparsity or compressibility of the underlying signals, compressed sensing or compressive sampling (CS) exploits the informational efficiency of under-sampled measurements for increased efficiency yet acceptable accuracy in information gathering,

Absorptive Weak Plume Detection on Gaussian and Non-Gaussian Background Clutter

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
For additive signals on Gaussian clutter, the optimal detector is a linear matched filter that is adapted to the known signal and the covariance of the background. This adaptive matched filter is widely used for gas-phase plume detection, even though the

Intelligent Sky Guardians (InSkyGuard): An Aerial Robotic Swarm for Autonomous Detection and Entrapment of Rogue Multirotors

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Intelligent Sky Guardians (InSkyGuard) is introduced as a four‐drone swarm that autonomously detects, tracks, and safely captures rogue drones using a coordinated net system. Computer vision and leader–follower control architecture enable synchronized enclosure, while integrated failsafes enhance system reliability. Validated through closed‐environment
